Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (cod or haddock)
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 liter Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 200 grams Cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the fish balls: In a food processor, combine the white fish fillets, egg, coconut flour, half of the chopped green onions, grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Step 2
Wet your hands to prevent sticking and shape the fish mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and lightly sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring to a boil. Gently add the fish balls into the boiling broth. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the fish balls are cooked through and floating.
Step 5
Add the shredded cabbage to the broth and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
Step 6
Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. For a spicier soup, add red chili flakes.
Step 7
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and cilantro.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your nutritious keto fish ball soup!
